Apparently, season four of Downton Abbey was a letdown according to EW, although I'm with our TV editor Allison Keene in thinking it was quite good.  Then again, all of Downton Abbey blurs together for me, and the first Downton Abbey season 5 images could easily be from previous seasons with the exception of Sybbie and George going from babies to young children.  So while there will be another time jump, I'm sure everything will be as prim and proper as ever, and I will continue to watch Downton Abbey as if it were a trashy reality TV series ("He did NOT just think he could keep the estate's affairs in order while refusing to modernize!") and enjoying every one of Carson's harrumphs.

Hit the jump to check out the Downton Abbey season 5 images.  Season five will premiere in the U.K. this fall, and premiere in the U.S. on January 4, 2015 on PBS.
